some things i would like:lots of shortcut keys: i do alot of VT switching and have them bound for thatBacklit: with one or two colorsLaptop like keys: keys simmilar to a laptop rather than the hard button cxx00 or membranedvorak layout as well as qwerty: perhaps printed on the same keyboard layout to reduce variations

one idea that i have had )not sure how much you will like it) is to use a corded aproch where a letter is made up of 1 or more button pushes (common keys are one button, less common are two or more buttons pushed at the same time)

the advantage is that you could have full sized keys and it should help with some anoying key combos (try doing a ctrl+c without sticky keys on a cxx00), the problems however are that you would need to learn a new keyboard, maximum typing speed is slowed down slightly

i will of course not be shiping it unless its specified but i belive that one or two people may be intrested, mainly those who are into wearable computers, with a screen rotation it would allow you to have your computer and your keyer in one

might have to track one of them down. actually my idea was a bit like that with the stoaway with the c3000 screen filp things so that you had 2 halfs to make a keyboard or fold it against itself so you only had one half. i have been reworking the design a bit so that instead of a twist its a slide mechnism but i still dont think that it would be apreciated (basically the 2 halfs sit one above the other and when you want the full keyboard rather than 1/2 of one you slide it apart

I am going to try one, because the more I think about it the more I think that one handed keyboard use may work quite well in a mobile situation. When sitting at a desk one could possibly use one of the new laser projected keyboards. I am following this discussion with great interst even though I am not qualified to help at the very basic hardware or programming level. Since getting my Z and seeing all the small format hardware available these sorts of thoughts have been rolling around in my head. I had been thinking of assembling something into a highend leather wallet when I stumbled onto this forum and am now anxious to see where this goes. I would definitely be interested when it comes down to ordering. Thanks.
